For third consecutive year.
Winning Group CEO, John Winning was recognised as CEO Magazine’s Retail Executive of the Year for the third time at an event held at Four Points by Sheraton, Darling Harbour last week.
Winning said the award is a great achievement that reflects the strength of the Group and his passion for creating innovative and enjoyable retail experiences.
“Retailers who continue to push boundaries and provide an innovative shopping experience will thrive. The Winning Group is a great example of an Australian business that has continued to adapt and evolve to a changing market,” he said.
“The success of the Winning Group lies in putting the customer first. I believe that customers want the choice of both bricks and clicks. However, retailers need to think outside the box to offer something that elevates the shopping experience to the next level.
“There’s no denying Australian retailers have been faced with tough trading conditions in recent years. Despite this, the Winning Group has continued to innovate and provide exceptional customer service both online and in-store. I am extremely proud of the companies and the people that work for our businesses and together we have pioneered the way for new retail experiences in Australia,” Winning added.
The CEO Magazine’s Executive of the Year Awards is one of Australia’s most prestigious business awards, recognising the individual excellence of senior executives. The Awards are aimed at celebrating the exceptional contribution made by the CEOs, managing directors, and senior management to their companies.
This is the fourth award Winning has picked up at the CEO Magazine’s Executive of the Year Awards, having taken out the prestigious Young Executive of the Year award in 2012 and Retail Executive of the Year in 2013 and 2014.
